THE BARE FACTS ABOUT FARMER

We made mention of Mr.. Frank

Louisiana State Lottery. The cash

here on last Friday in full. 1t was
one-twentieth part of the second capt
tai prize ($lOO 000) which was drawn
by ticket No. 2l,65S, for which TWEEN
tieth part Mr.. Armstrong had paid one
dollar about month ago. AS stated
before, Mr.. Armstrong is substantial
farmer Of about 30 years, has raised a
family in Union county, nearly all the
members of which are scattered away

his wife few years ago he is unmar-

there was mortgage of about S2,ooo
which, if not already, will soon be
paid. He will give $4,000 OF the
money to his son Harvey (who also
had ticket bought by his father al
the same time as the lucky one, which
proved a blank, and together they
will stock the farm most abundantiy.
Mr.. Armstrong has not been a +" lot
